p. 73), leave little doubt that the figure known as
Amphitrite (O) acted as the charioteer of Poseidon, and
■drove a pair of horses which corresponded closely to the
team of Athene, and completed the symmetry of the
composition. Inasmuch therefore as each deity has a
similar pair of horses, it is impossible to regard those of
Poseidon as his distinctive token in the combat.
If we assume that this second pair of horses was
attached to the chariot of Poseidon, room may be found
for a representation of the salt spring either between
the left leg of the Sea-god and the forelegs of his chariot-
horses, or beneath the horses.

entirely lost since the time of Dalton, unless we identify
it with the supposed Victory of the east pediment. (See

304 O. Amphitrite aeting as eharioteer to Poseidon. [Accord-
ing to Furtwaengler, however, this office would be
performed by a simple Nereid.]—In Carrey's drawing this
torso appears as a seated figure, the right foot on a
higher level than the left, the left arm drawn back as if
holding the reins; between the feet appears the head of a
marine monster. The head, left hand, and apparently
the right arm of Amphitrite are wanting. In Dalton's
